robse:
I want raw bits
I'm not clear what format you're trying to output, but if you want to output binary data instead of ascii characters then you might want to look at write() instead of print().
If you want to collect eight digitalRead() results and pack them into a byte and then output that as a binary value then you need to use bitSet()/bitClear() or the equivalent bitwise operators to build the byte and then write that value out. I'm only guessing what you're trying to achieve, though, because you haven't actually said.
